Lions give contract extension to GM Bob Quinn

The Detroit Lions announced Friday they've extended general manager Bob Quinn's deal, Kyle Meinke of Mlive reports. They did not announce the terms, but did say it will put the general manager under contract for the same number of years as Matt Patricia.

Team president Rod Wood declined to specify the length of Patricia's deal. He just said it was "long term." That probably means five years, or through 2022.

"The contract extension for Bob is most deserving as he continues to lead and improve our football team," Wood said in a statement released through the team. "It is also important for our entire organization to ensure stability as we move forward with Matt as our new head coach working in partnership with Bob. Moreover, I greatly enjoy my relationship and partnership with Bob. We both look forward to a bright future for the Detroit Lions."
